Over 700 DU Applicants Yet to Receive Refund Months After Cancellation

By

Despite UGC guidelines stating that the refunding of admission fees should take place within 15 days of cancellation of admission, over 700 applicants to the University of Delhi in 2025 had not received their refunds despite months passing after cancellation. 

 

In 2025, close to 700 undergraduate and postgraduate applicants to the University of Delhi cancelled their admissions but had not received their fee refund even months after cancellation. In accordance with standard procedure, university admissions are only confirmed after payment of the full fee. By UGC guidelines, universities are required to refund admission fees within 15 days of cancellation. However, due to technical difficulties and “bank detail mismatches”, 630 undergraduate students and 63 postgraduate students, who had cancelled their admissions, had not received their fee refunds. With over 700 applicants yet to receive their fees back, and minimum fees being around INR 10,000, well over INR 70 lakh remains unreturned to the applicants. 

 

On December 26, 2025, the University of Delhi issued notices listing all the applicants whose refund transactions had failed. Applicants were hence asked to update their bank details using online forms. According to the University of Delhi, the auto-refund process had failed for these students due to an information mismatch. Several refund failures were marked with reasons including “invalid account number” and “bank account mismatch”. Delhi University has issued a statement saying that undergraduate refunds had been processed on December 6th, 2025, and postgraduate refunds on November 20th, 2025. Though there were auto-refund attempts made in August and December of 2025, there is no issued information regarding how many students had successfully received their refunds.

 

The cancellation of admissions is not a new occurrence, as several students often use the University of Delhi as a cushion of support while the admission process in their preferred universities is in process. In 2022, when CUET was first implemented, about 5000 seats remained vacant even after the mop-up round. In 2023, that number rose to 7000, while in 2024, 3000 vacant seats remained despite efforts to fill them.
